AQIM said that it had killed two men last month for spying for France in Mali. The two men, named as Mohammed Ag Abdellah and Fajr Ag Sidi Mohammed, were killed on October 9 and October 19 respectively "in their hiding place in Bourj el-Barajneh in Algeria." Neither the nationality nor other details of the two men were given in the AQIM statement which was published by the Mauritanian news agency Al-Akhbar. The agency said that the two men involved were both Tuaregs from northern Mali who the Al-Qaeda group accused of "spying on behalf of France" which has been involved militarily in Mali since an international military operation was launched in January 2013. |
